Disney California Adventure has shops with TL stuff, there's a shop in Downtown Disney that has lots of shirts and the hoodies as well. IDK what the deal with Walt Disney World or Epcot Center is, they should have they same stuff in at least one of their gift shops by now... When all else fails, try Amazon.com or, there is alot of stuff is up on disneyliving's online store...

Auric,
I get the sense that there are some bean counters at WDW that consider that Tron is the red-headed stepchild that should be put in time-out infinitely. Now that Tron is coming back out with TL, some of them probably want to put that child in time-out even more, and are ashamed.

If anything, I'd think that WDW would at least be a prime place for all things Tron and Tron Legacy - just sayin'. order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill

What would they be ashamed of TL then? Do they know something we don't? Or are the marketing folks at WDC and Disneyland that stupid not to capitalize on it?

Unless they want to play it safe and see how well it turns out and then proceed with the merchandise or ride?

Disney is going a great job with their promotion of Tangled. I've seen numerous TV spots and merchandise.

I've found their promotion for Tron Legacy to be lacking.

Tangled is coming out next week. I'm sure Disney is going to step up their Tron game shortly before and after December.on line abortion pill misoprostol dose abortion medical abortion pill online

I dunno. They have a lot of merchandise for TL. However, TL has got to be one of the most "Mature" (for grown-ups) franchises under the Disney label (and not Touchstone or some other studio). Maybe it's easier to market kids' stuff like Tangled.

I was at EPCOT with my family a few months ago in June and was also very disappointed. My heart sank when I saw that the beautiful Living Seas pavilion was turned into that crappy Finding Nemo ride. What the hell happened to their bragging rights over their five million gallon tank and the restaurant they had with the huge glass wall with a stunning view into the tank? I must've made that up because all I saw was "Turtle Time with Crush" Gaaa!

Also, not a blip of TL influence anywhere. One of the monorails had the lightcycle on it but that was it. Sheesh, slap some glowing paint on a building and shine some black lights on it fer crissakes. It wouldn't have taken any more effort than went into most of the pavilions there. If Disney ever tears down one of its parks, it'll be EPCOT.

Ok, rant almost over. I'd think that with all the recent advances in biotech, physics, clean energy, global warming, nanotech, and so on, Disney could remake EPCOT into another world class mind blowing science center. Didn't Walt say it would ever be changing? It hasn't. How about a display in Communicore that shows just how many people 500 million FaceBook users really are and cover the walls and ceiling and floors with video monitors packed with videos of people's faces? I'd think Disney could even adopt the look and architecture of TL for EPCOT. Even if the movie bombed badly, it's still a very pretty place.

Done now.

Most likely. I wonder what kind of feedback they are getting from the test audience screenings. If you haven't done one of these before, they go to malls and randomly (or not so randomly) ask people if they would like to attend a free screening. Sometimes the tell you what type of movie it is but you won't know what the title is until the film starts rolling.

Nielsen has a "movie partnership calculator" that can be used to match movies with specific demographic targets. I can't access it because I am not a member.

Here is something from the article "Movie Marketers, Meet Your Ideal Audience::

"According to Nielsen’s calculator, males and females under 25 share a taste for raunchy comedies and franchise horror flicks, like “Role Models” and “Saw V”"- Nielsen Wire

Something else of nterest:

"Getting a larger share of adults aged 25 and older to go to the movies may be a tall order, because leisure time is increasingly spent at home as we age, Austin says. "It seems there's nothing the movie industry can do to pry these people out of their homes and into theaters,' he says. "That's especially true as we have more delivery systems for movies"" -Going to the movies by Shannon Dorch

IMO the primary draw right now to TL is DP. What is going to happen on opening weekend is that the movie may make it to #2 or even #1 box office, but will quickly fall off the next week after word gets out to the other DP fanboys that TL isn't a music video. TL might not even open in the top 3 if the majority DP fans buy the soundtrack instead of going to the theater.

They must be scared of TL that could make people forget Avatar.
